Being reasonable and understanding things are complicated and nuanced isn't going to happen on Lemmy.
The nutters here are going to sit on a Hamas propaganda source like Al Jazeera, knee-jerk to every article designed to drum up hatred and dumb down the situation, and go hop in bed with every anti-semite masquerading as the left that they can find. All the while pretending this conflict exists in a vacuum and lately even blaming the deaths on the 7th on Israel in their comments.
I appreciate your attempt to bring rationality and reason to the discussion, but you're wasting your time on this shithole.
Anyone conflating being anti-Zionist with being antisemitic isn't being reasonable.
I would argue it's pretty antisemitic to think that Israel speaks for all Jewish people.
Israel doesn't exist just because of or for Zionists. Or do you propose everyone who was born there but happens to not be a Palestinian should leave the country?
No, I advocate for them to demand a single Democratic state with Democratic rights for everyone, regardless of ethnicity. Since, you know, they've intentionally done everything possible to kill a two state solution.
Otherwise, they promote an apartheid vision for the region.
Also, it does exist solely because of Zionists. Where do you think it came from?
It exists to be a unsinkable US aircraft carrier parked at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. It's an ethnostate where non-jews are disenfranchised and nonwhite Jews are sterilized.
Jews, Christians and Muslims coexisted in Palestine long before the European colony arrived.
Fucking Germans I swear
yeah, I realized this half way through typing but wanted to finish this anyway.
